Pundits will love that... less work for them to do.

I like the idea of dressing room broadcasts but interviewing subs is totally needless. Could be funny to hear when the sub has a hissy fit Trent-style though.

RIDICULOUS!!

Kind of how I feel as well. Not really sure interviewing subs is necessary. I'd imagine like most things, the club press officer will control who is put forward for interviews etc rather than a random interview.

They really need to do away with PSR. Just let people spend what they want. It’s the most pointless stuff ever. All these tactics to get around it are just making it a mockery anyway. If a new owner of Sunderland wants to spend 800 million why not? What’s the issue?

Agreed PSR ends up actually making the league less competitive. Imagine if Newcastle could spend whatever they want they'd have been able to challenge City and Liverpool the past few years.

Hmmm think there’s a bit of bias here for the big financial beasts!

Why on Earth would they do that like?

Most people are asking that. Probably just some financial or business reason. It was a Lib Dem measure

Would be nice to have a few games on bbc like during Covid!

Just heard that Crystal Palace will have to play in the Conference League instead of the Europa League.

Not an Palace fan myself, but seems unjust to me.

So Forest get their spot? Surely Palace will appeal.

I would assume yes Palace will appeal.

Not confirmed @Dobbo but yes Nottingham Forest would take Palace's place in the Europa League.

Nothing that can be done. Lyon get preference

At least they are in Europe as it looked doubtful at one stage!

I don't think much can be done, seems its an admin error from Palace and certainly a warning for future multi ownership clubs.

There was a whole article in world soccer about this at the start of the year!

It's unfortunate for Crystal Palace but really they will have a better chance of winning the Conference League instead of the Europa League. Also it was the FA Cup trophy itself that was the biggest reward for them winning the FA Cup final and that can't be taken away from them. Winning the Conference League qualifies you into the Europa League so maybe it could be the following season instead if they manage to succeed Chelsea in getting their hands on the Conference League trophy.
